Grownups equals white people, apparently

NEWS --> Dem can redraw anywhere from 10 to 22 additional House seats for the party in time for the 2028 elections if they aggressively redistrict in 7 key states, a new Fair Fight Action analysis finds. This would neutralize GOP's post-SCOTUS advantage. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2098...

The people telling you the gutting of the Voting Rights Act has nothing to do with racism are the same people who would tell you that the Civil War was about states rights.

$MSFT turns red, but not as bad as $META $GOOGL +4% Seeing some red in chips @finviz_com

EXCLUSIVE: New records provide a clear paper trail of DOGE staffers engaging with an outside political group seeking to challenge election results. Though large portions are blacked out, the documents show that government officials advanced plans to exchange sensitive data for election purposes.

Today's Temporary Protected Status cases are yet another in a series--think tariffs/National Guard/Lisa Cook/AEA/etc. (and think back to the Travel Ban case, too)--in which virtually *everyone* knows the Trump Administration findings on which an action is predicated are pretextual, and yet ... [1]

Can remember hearing that folktale when I was a kid and being like, “Wait, so they all just PRETENDED the king had clothes on when he was butt naked?? But that’s ridiculous, that doesn’t even make sense!” Anyway, hope they made Trump a nuclear football as fake as the emperor’s new clothes.

OH SHIT!!! @annabower.bsky.social is going to launch a SECOND investigation into the grand jury. And holy hell Kash Patel is one stupid motherfucker.

You can really tell how much support for Republicans has fallen off a cliff lately One year ago they were promising nationwide purges after Charlie Kirk was killed and now someone takes a shot at Trump and it’s LET US BUILD A BALLROOM ITS ALL WE WANT PLEASE PLEASE JUST THIS ONE THING PLEASE GOD

The media suddenly starts to pretend that they care about "the rituals of democracy," after elevating the Jan 6 leader for 5 years.

TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you?

One of the dumbest motherfuckers ever to walk this earth

New from me: All 40 of Trump's judicial nominees who have taken Qs from the Senate Judiciary Committee have refused to say Trump lost the 2020 election. Now his high-level executive nominees are dodging the Q, too. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I'm no fan of Piers Morgan, but this clip shows what a grifting charlatan Russell Brand is so effectively. Brand is so self confident yet so lazy, he wasn't prepared to be questioned on his newly found beliefs. It isn't as if sticky tabs or highlighters exist. Or that Bible verses are numbered.

“You are an adult. The old one, the wise one. Stop thinking about saving your face. Think of our lives and tell us your particularized world. Make up a story.” www.nobelprize.org/prizes/liter...

No clip has ever captured the essence of born again Christians quite like this

this has to be a bit lol come on

Trump Seeks to Abolish Iran’s Atomic Stockpile, a Problem He Helped Create www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

The ADL permanently sacrificed its reputation to get in good with a massively dangerous antisemite and white nationalist. They defended him and stood up for him even after his Nazi salute. Here's how he repays them. This is what happens when you think you're using bigots. They're always using you.

Meet “ASU Atomic,” a subscription platform that claims to offer customized learning modules for fee-paying users. None of the ASU faculty whose course materials were harvested for the module I generated were aware that their image, lectures, lessons, or other teaching materials are being used.

[working at the swastika factory named after a notoriously unreliable crystal ball used by evil forces to conceal true threats] this place is starting to smell like fascism

Thinking about this, it occurs to me that one of the appealing things about AI from the perspective of our Masters of the Universe is that it cannot refuse consent. Given that's almost certainly one of their favorite things about it, is it any surprise that a whole bunch of them are rapists?

Continued attack on the press: the ombudsman argues she was fired without explanation as retaliation for speaking out against Pentagon efforts to undermine editorial independence of Stars and Stripes, warning it threatens press freedom and unbiased info for service members. zurl.co/ZpMiY

oh wow have lawmakers on Capitol Hill heard of this thing called a book

facial recognition and pretrial detention, what a combo

“There will now be 35,000 vouchers available — funded through taxpayer dollars.” AGAIN: Almost entirely to kids already in private schools. They won’t track that, because they know it. @GovBillLee’s legacy will be coupons for the wealthy that take hundreds of millions from public schools.

the entire government right now is just a bacchanalia, everyones getting blasted and banging each other

The 5th Cir upheld a Texas law requiring posting the 10 Commandments in all public school classrooms, saying it wasn't bound by a 1980 SCOTUS ruling invalidating an identical Kentucky law. In my new column for @justiaverdict.bsky.social I explain that its stated reasons for evading precedent fail. 👇

They way you can protect your liars from perjury is to not make them swear in. Again, everything they do shows their guilt. newrepublic.com/post/209400/...

🚨BREAKING: Internal emails between DOJ personnel suggest that, from the very outset of the effort to obtain sensitive voter data from states — much earlier than previously known — officials there planned to share it with the DHS. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has fired the Stars and Stripes ombudsman — the role Congress created to protect the military paper's editorial independence — after she publicly criticized the DOD's overhaul of the publication. w/ @liamjscott.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“It was the most harebrained operation I’d seen in my 38 years with the U.S. government,” one career diplomat said about the second Trump administration's wholesale slashing of foreign aid. “Who knows how much damage was done.” (Published Dec. 2025)

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

“Children and adults were laid on makeshift gurneys …These human caravans walked for hours in up to 104-degree heat in an attempt to reach medical treatment” Musk and Doge have so much blood on their hands www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Recalls Trump’s denial last year that he was the one to sign the Alien Enemies Act proclamation. Gee, I wonder who in the administration could be behind these atrocities against migrants…

The movie CASINO is actually a perfect roadmap for this era

When the forces of the antichrist fall, this shit's gonna be next to the slavery exhibits for the next 500 years.

oh my god you moron don’t do this

Yousof is a widely-quoted policy expert on US-Iran relations (his dissertation is on US foreign policy particularly related to Iran and nuclear power). It seems likely that this is one of the reasons he was picked up; in addition to his opposition of the current US-Iran war.

Well, they've finally struck home. #ICE has detained my former #umich student, Yousif Azizi, a PhD student in public policy at Virginia Tech w/a valid visa. He was arrested while taking his children to school in Maryland. After multiple transfers, he is in a detention center in Arizona.

ICE kidnapped a Virginia Tech student

Dan Loeb has tens of billions of dollars under manangement btw lol

Keep doing this kind of messaging, Biff. Spot on. Pitch perfect. No notes.

Just so we're all on the same page here: if a drug goes from $100 to $600, it has increased 500% (though you could also say the new price is "600% of the old price"), and if it drops from $600 to $100 it has dropped 83.3%, so RFKJr is wrong in both directions, for different reasons.

Feels like MAHA - and the "tradwife" thing more generally - gets Discourse above its weight. Among US women aged 18-29, just *7 percent* say they "strongly agree" with rolling back vaccine mandates. Just 11 percent strongly agree "things are better when men make money, women care for home."

“The U.S. ​admitted about 4,500 South Africans as refugees through the first six months of the fiscal year … The only ​refugees other than white South Africans to enter this fiscal year were three Afghans, according to State Department statistics.”
